There was some grudge between them. The moment Geng Qi saw her, he felt that he hadn't been lenient enough in dealing with her at Pipi Mountain. He should have used his power to prevent her from reaching the secret realm!
He made no attempt to hide his dislike for her, standing in front of Rong Yu, glancing at her before looking away.
Qiu Qingxue was born with a beauty that could not help but attract the attention of anyone who saw her. Cultivators from various sects would respectfully address her as "Fairy Qingxue". She was always very confident in her appearance and rarely showed respect to others. However, she sadly discovered that more than half of the eight people who appeared on the flying boat were hostile to her.
The three people she had faced before stood before her with different faces. She couldn't recognize them, but she knew they were enemies, not friends. Furthermore, the person she had mentioned ignored her greeting and was only concerned with tying the hair of the young man in front of her. After tying the ribbon, he still seemed unsatisfied and smoothed the ends of the hair.
The area around the magic circle was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.
Qiu Qingxue's expression was rather unpleasant.
At this moment, a woman in blue standing next to Master Lingyuan stepped forward and called out, "Senior Sister."
"Reixiang?"
Qiu Qingxue seemed surprised, glanced at Rong Yu, and then looked back at the woman.
The woman called Lianxiang immediately said, "Junior Sister Zhou and I were teleported to the swamp on the second level. Thanks to Master Lingyuan for our rescue, but Junior Sister Zhou is trapped in the swamp and is already..."
There were also people here who had escaped from the swamp, and they all felt a chill of fear upon hearing this.
Qiu Qingxue comforted Lianxiang for a few words, then turned to Rong Yu and bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Senior Brother."
"You're wrong. My master was clearly just watching from the shore. When did he come to the rescue?"
The sudden sound drew everyone's attention.
Geng Qi looked at Qiu Qingxue, his words full of provocation.
Seeing his predicament, Lianxiang quickly said, "It was my fault for not explaining clearly. It was this... young master who intervened..."
“You’re wrong again, girl. You were already lying down when I got to the swamp. I only said a few words. You swam to the shore by yourself. If anyone saved you, it was the person who put you down on the swamp.”
Lianxiang was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the people who had been trapped in the swamp with them.
"At that time, it was Miss Su..."
Su Mo'er was taken aback, not understanding how this matter had been brought up with him.
She saved herself, her fellow disciples, and incidentally, this girl from Jiyun Palace!
However, she also disliked this arrogant Fairy Qingxue, so naturally she wouldn't try to smooth things over!
Many eyes followed Lianxiang's gaze and fell on Su Mo'er. Upon seeing her, their eyes lit up. In terms of appearance, Su Mo'er was in no way inferior to Qiu Qingxue. However, she was wearing the Tianzhi Sect disciple's robes and was standing behind her fellow disciples, making her too inconspicuous for most people to see.
Some were amazed, while others were still looking at the young man in front of Master Lingyuan. His aggressive attitude was displeasing. One of the people standing behind Qiu Qingxue stepped forward and said, "Junior Sister has already thanked you, why is Junior Nephew so serious?"
This person, wearing a golden crown and white robe, is from the Yan Yang Palace.
Geng Qi suddenly remembered what Master Puye had told him that day about the two palaces becoming in-laws. He recalled that he had also seen this person on Mount Pipi, standing with Qiu Qingxue. His name seemed to be Han Zhao.
His address of "Junior Disciple" established Geng Qi's junior status, and any further inquiry would be a breach of etiquette.
But Geng Qi, who was never one for politeness, refused to back down, saying, "You thanked the wrong person, shouldn't you thank them again? This is a life-saving grace. Moreover, your Junior Sister Zhou, in order to protect herself, dragged my sect's disciple into the quagmire, almost causing my sect's disciple to lose their life. An apology is unnecessary, and a word of thanks is not excessive, is it? Or does Uncle think that our status is insufficient and we are not worthy of Uncle's thanks?"
He replied to Han Zhao, but his eyes were fixed on Qiu Qingxue.
Just now, when Qiu Qingxue spoke, several large characters suddenly appeared on the system interface, and Geng Qi's desire to avoid trouble instantly exploded!
Falling for the villain? Doesn't that mean she likes Rong Yu?
They're just putting on an act of being aloof, pure, and otherworldly!
How wishful thinking!
Geng Qi was in a bad mood, and he felt he would be doing the system a disservice if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity presented to him!
Han Zhao was speechless. Seeing that he was still staring at the person, he said angrily, "You didn't save Junior Sister Qiu. Junior Sister Lianxiang has already thanked you. Don't push your luck!"
Geng Qi smiled: "So, my master didn't save Aunt Qiu either. She was so eager to thank me just now, but why is she unwilling to do so when it's someone else? Is she really so reluctant to speak?"
"you……"
Han Zhao was rendered speechless by his retort, and angrily said to the other person, "Is this how Master Lingyuan teaches his disciples?"
Rong Yu spoke calmly: "Is there something wrong with it?"
"..."
Is there anything wrong with it? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it!
Since they belonged to different sects, he didn't need to show much respect to Qiu Qingxue. Besides, he had powerful backers, so what if he was arrogant? Who would dare to touch him?
Since their master has made it clear that he will support them, who can say anything?
In the past, Han Zhao would have argued with Rong Yu even though he knew he couldn't win, but ever since he learned that Rong Yu had become a god, he no longer dared to speak to him as he used to.
Being slightly better than someone else can breed envy if the gap isn't too large, but when the gap becomes significant enough, all envy turns into admiration.
Rong Yu was previously revered as a True Person, and Han Zhao only thought he was at the Nascent Soul stage. However, on that day, he suddenly received news that the young sect master of Daotianzhi Sect had entered the Divine Transformation stage and easily defeated three elders by himself.
He was a prodigy within the sect, but despite his best efforts, he had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. He entered the secret realm at the late Golden Core stage, and the gap between him and Rong Yu, who was suppressing his cultivation at the late Golden Core stage, was insurmountable.
